4.02 The work of art pictured is Theodora?s Mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Theodora was Justinian?s wife whom he married for love. Her humble origin set a precedent for empresses in a lower class chosen for their beauty. Theodora is shown wearing purple and abundance of jewels; even more than the mosaic opposite this one depicting Justinian. The connection between church and state are key elements to the mosaic. Theodora?s robe at the bottom shows the three magi from the nativity story. She is shown holding a cup used for Holy Communion. The bright and various colors of the robes of the courtiers are characteristic of Byzantine Art. The halo around Theodora?s head makes her seem as not just the Emperor?s wife but a Christian ruler in her own right.

Name___________________________________ AP Human Geography - Chapter Six: Religion Introduction: (Page 191) 1. What questions about religion do geographers try to answer? Where and Why? 2. Why do geographers find the tensions between globalization and local diversity especially acute in religion? (Give five reasons.) People care deeply about their religion and draw their core values and beliefs from it Some religions have universal appeal and others local appeal Religious values show how people feel and the meaningful ways they alter the landscape Most (but not all) religions require strict adherence, so adopting a global religion could mean turning away from traditional local religion

4.04 Religion influences art by bringing to the forefront of the artwork important principals and lessons that are taught in that specific religion. The Islamic example I selected is the dome of the Selimiye Mosque. The other work of art I have selected is Christ as the Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla. Both of these works of art have elements specific to their religion.
